MDR Live is the first-ever silent concert in the Philippines. This historic event will be featuring brand ambassadors, Ely Buendia and Bamboo Mañalac, as they share the same stage for the first time, for one night only in an epic concert for the ages.

For the untrained ear, the sound of guitar strums, bass hits and smashing cymbals could be considered as distorted noise. However, music, and the work behind it, goes beyond that. Noise is only heard when we do not appreciate what exactly it is we hear and this is the outlook that Sony Philippines aims to change with their “Music Deserves Respect” campaign.

Music is a work of art that is created only with pure dedication and hard work, and that is the message Sony wants to spread through their two (2) new consumer promos, MDR Live and Wanted DJ.

Through MDR Live, Sony is inviting their fans a chance to be a part of the first-ever silent concert in the Philippines featuring brand ambassadors, Ely Buendia and Bamboo Mañalac. This historic event will be hosted on May 8, 2014 at the Rockwell Tent and it will feature both music icons as they share the same stage for the first time and for one night only in a defining concert for the ages.

“Listening to music at its purest form can really be engaging and this is exactly what we want you to experience with us,” says Ely Buendia.

“With the newest headphones line from Sony, Ely and I would like to invite you to be a part of the very first Silent concert in the Philippines. No loud, shared and public music, just direct to your ears sound as if having your very own private music event,” adds Bamboo Mañalac.

“With Sony’s latest line of MDR headphones, we’ve given customers the opportunity to hear music the way it really should. Now, we are bringing that experience into a more epic and experiential scale with the first-ever silent concert. Head down to your nearest Sony Centre now and get a chance to be a part of history with MDR Live, for one night only with Ely Buendia, Bamboo Mañalac and Sony,” says CJ Deacosta, Marketing Officer – Personal Audio.

Further emphasizing their commitment to music, Sony also launched the Wanted DJ Promo where they partnered with the country’s first ever premiere DJ Studio, Beat Project Manila. With their commitment to create the next generation of local DJs and Producers in electronic music, Sony supports Beat Project Manila by offering their customers a chance to experience firsthand all the facets of DJ-ing and basic electronic music production.
